Alergická rýma – Seberová Ester (2018)

Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases, yet it is often underestimated by both healthcare professionals and patients themselves. A large portion of patients considers nasal issues a necessary nuisance and only pays attention to them when their intensity rises to an unbearable level. The book by our leading allergist summarizes current knowledge about the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of allergic rhinitis. It also provides basic information about the immune system and allergies in general, to the extent necessary to understand the relationships between allergic rhinitis and other manifestations of atopy. Its aim is to update the knowledge of specialist doctors who deal with allergic rhinitis on a daily basis (allergists, otorhinolaryngologists), while also filling certain gaps that sometimes hinder proper assessment and treatment of allergic rhinitis by other doctors for whom rhinitis is a 'marginal issue' (general practitioners, pulmonologists, and others). The book is primarily intended for allergists, pulmonologists, pediatricians, and general practitioners.
